Cut the top round beef into small pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches.

Season the beef with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a skillet and sear the beef quickly for less than a minute on each side until browned.

Remove the seared beef from the skillet and set aside.

Add butter to the skillet, then add cooked mushrooms and onions.

Cook the onions until caramelized, about 10 minutes, seasoning with salt to help them exude liquid.

Sprinkle flour over the cooked onions and mushrooms, stirring for about 15 seconds to cook off the flour.

Deglaze the pan with beef broth, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom.

Off the heat, add warmed beef broth to the pan and mix in sour cream to prevent curdling.

Stir the mixture to combine and then add the beef back into the skillet.

Cook egg noodles separately, then add 2 tablespoons of butter to the noodles and melt it in.

Plate the beef stroganoff and garnish with herbs if available.
